           Summary: cannot read messages which contain square brackets
                    ([]) in message-id
           Product: knode
           Version: unspecified

Knode retrieves the article list for a newsgroup, sorts it and displays a list
of articles available to read. After the user selects one, Knode uses the
message ID of the article to retrieve it from the news server. In the case
where an article message ID contains square brackets, these are stripped from
the message Id and the now invalid message ID is requested, resulting in a 430
error being returned.

As an example, a poster to the demon.service newsgroup using the identity
"Wm.." uses message IDs with the right-hand side @[127.0.0.1]. These articles
can't be read using Knode as Knode requests message IDs with the RHS as
@127.0.0.1. In the displayed error message, the link to Google groups also
strips the square brackets.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscribe to a newsgroup where a user is using square brackets in message
ID.
2. retrieve the list of articles in the group
3. select an article with the square brackets in the RHS of the message ID
Actual Results:  
Knode displays an error with a clickable link to Google saying:

An error occurred.

The article you requested is not available on your news server.
You could try to get it from groups.google.com.



Expected Results:  
The article should be correctly displayed.
